Groovy is as Jython does.

I don't even know what that means, but somehow it makes sense to me.

Jon Udell: This weekend, I was working with the Java API to Sleepycat's Berkeley DB XML, and it felt like one of those bad dreams in which you're slogging through molasses toward an ever-receding goal. I switched to Jython and quickly got the job done. And it was the same job (indexing and searching content) using the same engine (Berkeley DB XML).
I think Jon would find Groovy just as easy to use as Jython. One important advantage of Groovy over Jython, and JRuby by the way, is syntax. Joe average Java programmer is going to be able to pick up Groovy much more quickly than Jython.

No, he likes Python syntax, which is understandable as it is a thing of beauty: Of course the even better solution was native Python bound to DB XML, a combination that is not so easy to materialize. When I finally got that working, things really started to cook.
